Stubborn Suzanne


To continue the "[Adjective] Suzanne" series, let me present Stubborn Suzanne. The picture above was taken when we were at Plumper's Farm ("Never again!") buying pumpkins and spending too much money. Admittedly, it was cold and damp. That said, just because it is cold and damp doesn't mean you should refuse to wear your boots. However, that is just what Suzanne did. Her feet were cold in her un-insulated rubber boots, so she decided she would not wear boots at all.

"But," you are asking, "how can one walk around a cold, damp farm (with the threat of stepping in the poop of multifarious creatures that every farm presents) in stocking feet?!"

An excellent question, perceptive reader. The answer is: one cannot.

After Barb and I exhausted our extensive repertoire of incentivizing, cajoling, threatening, wheedling, ordering, begging, etc., I ended up carrying Suzanne around for an hour with her cold feet in the pockets of my sweatshirt.

Then she was happy.

Last Gasp of Summer

Sunset the first night.   It's been a good summer, but certainly more constrained than usual due to the COVID-19 pandemic...
